Cheese, Bacon & Spaghetti Pie Recipe

If your home is anything like ours we have a constant stream of visitors during the lead up to Christmas and into the New Year, my boys also both celebrate their birthdays! This easy Cheese, Bacon and Spaghetti Pie recipe makes a great child-friendly meal that I like to make when we have visitors bringing children.

Cheese Bacon Spaghetti Pie

Like our kid friendly entertaining Nachos recipe, a baked spaghetti like this Cheese, Bacon & Spaghetti Pie is generally a crowd pleaser (even for fussy eaters). This recipe serves 4-6 adults (with leftovers).

Prior to the house descending into the madness and excitement that a house full of guests can generate, this baked spaghetti recipe can be made earlier in the day and quickly heated when required.

  • 150 grams of dried spaghetti
  • 1 cup of grated cheese, plus extra for topping

  2. Preheat oven to 180˚C/350ºF.
  3. To a bowl add all the ingredients except for the spaghetti and mix to combine.
  4. Grease a pie dish and when the spaghetti has cooked, drain it and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Arrange the spaghetti evenly across the base of the dish and then pour the egg mixture over the top.
  6. Use a fork to gently move the spaghetti to let the egg mixture seep through to the base of the pie dish.

      Hi Jode, although I can not pin point the exact meal, I think my mum also used similar combinations of flavours when I was growing up. Bacon, egg and cheese has to be a winning combo regardless! I hope that your family enjoyed dinner. Kyrstie

  2. This is a nice variation from pastry. But don’t do what I did, used a springform pan, of course the egg ran out, and I threw it into a round cake tin. Ungreased 🙁 still tasty though!!
    thanks

      Hi Lauren, good tip! I hadn’t thought of that as an issue as I use a glass quiche plate for baking many of my pies…. Glad you enjoyed the flavour 🙂
